Summary:
Mathis Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Mathis Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 1035 out of 2330 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1865 out of 2344 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 1 star.
Mathis Middle's academic performance is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests ranging from 6.32% to 56.84% across different grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's Algebra I end-of-course (EOC) proficiency rate is relatively high at 81.82%, compared to the district and state averages. The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 86.38% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and has a student-teacher ratio of 18.1, slightly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's performance challenges, it has a per-student spending of $10,431 for the 2020-2021 school year, which is above the state average. This suggests that resources are being allocated to support the school's operations and programs, and there may be opportunities to leverage these resources to address the identified academic weaknesses and improve student success.
